impeccably for an industry that is increasingly relying on mobile devices to drive business success,” said Andrew. “The dependence on Apple devices in the enterprise is only increasing, and you can bet adversaries won’t pass up the opportunity to strike while the iron’s hot. I’m looking forward to amplifying security buyers’ awareness of Jamf and working with our extremely talented Threat Labs team to uncover, defend and protect customers against the threats of tomorrow.” Meanwhile Marc brings more than 25 years of experience in the channel, most recently as the head of the EMEA channel at Docusign. Recognised as CRN’s 2022 Channel Chief of the Year, Botham will be responsible for developing and implementing partner strategies on a global scale, designing channel programs that enable Jamf to establish substantive growth markets aligned with Jamf’s strategic partner ecosystem, and positioning Jamf as the Apple Enterprise Management solution provider. “I am thrilled to be joining the Jamf team and I am excited to build on the exciting momentum the Jamf channel program has already had this year,” said Marc. “Jamf is on the cusp of some incredible growth in the channel, and I’m honored to be joining at such an exciting time in Jamf’s channel journey. I look forward to continuing to serve Jamf’s existing partnerships as well as help Jamf continue to expand globally within the channel.”
